Book 2 of the Green series picks up where book 1 has left off. It covers the second year of Lois Barker's life in the small town of Green. As with the first book, it is a light read with lots of dialogue so it makes reading it fairly fast and easy to keep track of the plot line. I laugh out loud in several places because the quirkiness of small town life.

One item that I don't like it that the author covers a entire year in one book and I feel a little cheated because I feel the author is only giving me the highlights on the characters and their lives.

The other thing was a noticeable lack of God with the pages of what is supposed to be a christian book. The author does have a pastor that is a regular character, but as for the main characters, I found their lack of faith, or at least attempting to search for God, disturbing. I hope that the author steps it up and brings God within the pages of the rest of the series.
